Trenton firefighters rescue trapped woman in house fire

TRENTON — Trenton firefighters pulled a woman from the second floor window of her house as they battled a fire early Friday morning.

At 2:34 a.m., Engines 6, 7 and 10, Ladders 1 and 4 and Rescue 1 were sent to 217 Dickinson Street on reports of first alarm fire. The fire had started in the first floor kitchen and then spread to the second floor, where a 34-year-old woman was trapped, Battalion Chief Henry Gliottone said.

Firefighters from Rescue and Ladder 4 pulled the woman. Gliottone said the woman did sustain injuries and was taken to the Capital Health Regional Medical Center before being sent to the Burn Center at Saint Barnabas in Livingston N.J. While the exact cause of the fire is under investigation, it appears to be accidental.
